run php code in a cronjob

[diligo]

Hi all,

how to run my php code as a cronjob? I'm testing out sending email every 30 mins. I tried /usr/bin/php /home/<username>/public_html/<program name>.php but it does not work even though when i run the program manually, it works. Thanks in advance.

Try: php-cron /home/<username>/public_html/<program name>.php

Every 30 minutes? Why would you need to send an email that often?
